Come get some e lol

 

08inBama, to bad we have a chance of rain all the way up till Thursday, but at least the weekend will be nice again.

Josh, I might drive down this next weekend in the HHR SS and give you the down pipe.

 

and the feds are going to knock down your door thinking your selling ecstasy, lol

"yeah, E85, is that what you kids are calling it now days"

 

Lol ya I'll be like call it what u want I drink it lol

 

Oh so you drink liquid "E", gotcha.

 

Lol there you go. I thought of something. You can make moonshine from corn..... So can you run that in your car?

 

I don't know about now, but I remember hearing stories of people actually driving there car on moonshine

 

I'm just saying it would be cheaper lol

 

Wow. Looks like I missed a lot in the past week. Been busy with school. I just read the last few pages.

Sucks that I missed the meet on Mar. 19.

Trackmasters is 10 minutes away from me

Droid and Droid 2 can be rooted (equivalent to iPhone jailbreak). Droid 2 is as easy to root as clicking an executable. I've owned both and rooted both of them without issue.

Jet-Pep has E85 (another 10 minutes away from where I live )
Address: 7850 US-72 W, Hughes Rd, Madison, AL 35758

Saw two black Cobalt SS last week. At least I think it was 2. Both in Madison and were black, but one look like an 05 (judging from the SS badge being in the middle of the door) and I think the other was an SS/TC.

Other than that, my car is pissing me off! My driver side rear wheel is making some odd noise. Not sure if it's the hub or the wheel itslef. I just had all 4 of my rims straightened due to being warped after having them powder coated black

 

Adam and Josh you guys need to go read this whole thread when you get a chance. Page 6 is where it starts taking off with dyno graphs, etc.

BNR Stage 2 GT28 Just Arrived! - Saturn Sky Forums: Saturn Sky Forum

This is a BNR GT2871 turbo upgrade on a stock Solstice by DDM Works earlier this year.

Remember the Solstice has more drive train loss, so technically this would be higher on our fwd cars (when tuned properly).

My curve looks nothing like there's, dare I say mine looks more like a K04 curve, except it doesn't drop off nearly as much from 5.2k to 7k rpms.

 

I'm more curious about the turbo they are running... says stage III but even then the guy says its a "hybrid" turbo...

also why does BNR only have Stage I and II listed on their site(stage III still in testing?)?

i'd like to see dynos of all 3 stages, in fact, i'm curious to see stage I compared to Stage II

I honestly expect those numbers to be closer than most people think

 

The BNR is a hybrid the designation is K04-GT2871, using GT2871 internals, a GT2871 compressor housing on the Stock K04 exhaust housing.
Because originally there was going to be a stage I, II, III.
The original stage II was scrapped becasue Brian @ BNR said he didn't see any significant gain in using GT2860 with bigger housing.
So stage I stayed the stock replacement GT2860 and stage II became the GT2871. (the guy over there didn't keep up with the changes made to the different stages)

There are pictures of the different wheel comparisons used in the 2 different stages. The GT2871 wheels are HUGE compared to stock

I think numbers will be similar up to a certain rpm range, then the 2860 will drop off and the 2871 will still be making power, of course the 2860 will spool up close to stock though.

I did ALOT of research on the 2860 vs. 2871, even the BNR 2860 & 2871 models for the Mazda and Genesis vehicles (they have the same bolt on turob upgrade from him).

In almost every case it was recommended to go with the 2871 because you only loose a couple hundred rpm spool up compared to the 2860 but gain a whole lot of flow up top with the 2871.

 

You could have rode down with me to the Spec clutch meet if you didn't have a car.

We are having another meet April 24th in Birmingham at a drift event.

Could the noise be a warped rotor? or possible caliper sticking?

Did you pay out of your pocket to have the wheels straightened?

 

His numbers bigger lol

 

I'm gonna get my g-tech set up and see what it says for times and hp/tq numbers.

Its already been proven multiple times the times are accurate within + - 1/10th
and the hp rating + -10 hp

 

Sweet when I get my damn thing we will compare them all

 

Well I'm a terrible driver or I don't have the G-tech set up right.

first time 0-60 in 7.5 secs quarter 15 secs (factory is 6.5 and 14.5) 215 hp

2nd time I played with the rpm settings becasue right now its trying to use 2nd gear starting at 2k rpm.

I did even worse.
So getting this damn thing set up is going to be a pain in the ass I can tell.

 

Lol good luck

 

HHR SS going into the work shop tonight and breaking out the van for DD.

Wish me luck in not crushing myself over the next few days.

 

Clutch? Cause if so I could find u a rack lol

 

Yes clutch install and you better not let my wife find out you are going to find me a rack.

 

lol ya she might be pissed. i was told i can do it at my work on a sat when the main boss over the service isnt there. and im not sure what sat's but i can see about going to matt's dealership across the rd on a sat if u want

 

I got this, all I need to buy is a 30mm socket and E10 torx socket and some time.

I have all the other tools needed.

Hell if I can pull a AWD trans and engine out of the van (and re-install) by myself, and turbo charge it, I can do this. I'm use to working on my car solo anyways.

To be honest the subframe will be the hardest part from what I can tell from the GM book. I'll just make sure to use a white marker to mark it up so I get it back in the exact same position.
I only have 11k miles on the HHR SS, so it should still come apart realtively rust free.

 

well I'm on my 3rd attempt at doing the Insanity workout... i've started it twice before and can never make it more than a week, lol

I just made it through the opening fit test and I hope I have 3 lungs, because I just coughed one up, lol

 

The noise is either a warped rotor or the wheel itself. I'm going to swap the rear wheels (left wheel on right and right wheel on left). The paint place paid to have my wheels straighten. I'm honestly shocked. 2 weeks and the car drives fine minus the rear driver side noise. I'll try and be at the meet on the April 24. Depends on what's going on as far as school and work
